he started too late. If a fight goes the distance, whoever wins the most rounds wins the fight. Taylor won ALL early rounds and 1-2 late. Hopkins basically won 10,11, and 12. Can't win a fight like that. That's why he lost. -
taylor only clearly won rounds 1 3 6 the other rounds taylor threw more punches but wasnt hittin **** and hopkins landed some sharp counter 5 9 10 11 12 all where clearly won by hopkins ..all the other four rounds should of been 10 10 roundsComment

Non sense.
Hopkins clearly won rounds 9-12
Which means the debate about this fight is in rounds 1-8
If you gave 2 rounds in 1-8 to Hopkins, it's a draw.
Give him 3 rounds in 1-8 and he wins the fight.
The first 8 rounds saw Bernard countering, and Taylor moving forward and jabbing. A lot of the jabs missed or were blocked, which means it was often a choice between the few jabs Taylor landed, or the few counters Bernard landed.
In tight rounds, you factor defense into your scoring.
Bernard took Taylor's jab away for the most part, and I had him winning 3 of the first 8.
This fight could easilly have been scored either way by a round, and anyone who talks like their opinion of the fight is set in stone and gospel is a pompus idiot.Comment

Judging is based on scoring each round, not adding up power punches over 12 rounds. Hopkins could outland Taylor 20-0 over the last 4 rounds, but if he already lost the first 8 rounds, so what?
Hopkins fought what would be considered a dumb fight for a younger fighter, but maybe that is his best at age 40.Comment

Hopkins lost rounds 1 to 4, then won round 5. Then he threw away round 6 and i had round 7 even. I gave Hopkins 8, 9, 10 was even but could have gone either way, 11 to hopkins and 12. It was that close but its Hopkins own fault he lost he was goofing around to much early and cost himself the fight.Comment

hopkins did enough to win the fight and taylor in my eyes didnt do enough to take the belts from a champion like b-hop. no respect for hopkins the decision was total bs.im not a hopkins nuthugger im just a guy that feels that if u want to be champ u gotta do a lil more than fade in the second half of the fight and land less than 80 punches in the whole fight.Comment

taylor threw 130 more tho.... he was more active. if a guy throws 2 punches n lands them both. compared to the guy who throws 30 n lands 2, the guy who threw 30 wins the fight cuz hes the aggressor n he threw more punches
ok nard landed more punches, but taylor landed n threw more jabs... this doesnt mean ****Comment
